The Proposition 13 (2020) School Facilities Bond will help ensure that students across the state have access to safe, healthy and modern learning environments.
On March 3, California voters have an important opportunity to pass this statewide school bond measure. It provides critically needed resources for renovating and building schools in districts throughout the state. Proposition 13 (2020) includes significant funding for K-12 schools, plus the University of California system, California State Universities and the California Community Colleges.
The school facilities bond is supported by a wide range of education and civic groups (including CASBO), plus organizations representing parents, firefighters, nurses, the California Chamber of Commerce, and many more.
CASBO's Chief Governmental Relations Officer Sara Bachez joins us on this special episode to explain why the school bond is so important, who's supporting it -- and to clarify why this Number 13 is a perfectly positive proposition worthy of passage.
